Controversy causing Edinburgh noiseniks Scrap Brain launch their new single "Nal", with some ace support bands.
Supermarionation & others. Box.


Saturday:
Ah Saturday, it has been a wee while since you decided to have a laugh. Back to your old tricks I see.
Frankly looking at this line up I could easily believe it has been put on just for my benefit. It hasn't though, so you should come along.
Since No dancing finishes at 10pm, I'll be nicking along the road to this afterwards.
Oh You Dancer Vs Kaskrute, Bloc. 10pm kick off, free entry before 11.
Esperanza launch their debut album, Permanent Ska.

Sunday:
Words Per Minute 11. The Arches, 4pm.
As always find all the info over at the Words Per Minute website and the Facebook page above.
If memory serves me correctly this is only Trapped Mice's second Glasgow gig. The first one was put one by this really halfwitted guy that doesn't really know what he is doing.
Brain Burner: Wounded Knee, Muris, theapplesofenergy, Iliop. The Liquid Ship. Free.
The Late Call, The Japanese War Effort, The Wee Rogue. The Wee Red Bar, Edinburgh.

  2. I've not been to one in ages, they keep happening when I've ran out of money. Hating being a jobless bum.

  3. I'm going to the Two Winners show, should be amazing and means I can finally pick up the Scottish Enlightenment's album. I've never heard Mitchell Museum or Dormant Figure so that should be interesting as well

  4. Ah, excellent Craig! Haven't heard Dormant Figure myself either, but love Mitchell Museum. Enjoy.
